LinuxCommand.org is a web site devoted to helping users of legacy
operating systems discover the power of Linux.

The LinuxCommand.org content is designed to meet the needs of users of
that other operating system. Unfortunately, users of the other
systems may lack basic computing skills that people in the Linux
community take for granted. For example, it is entirely possible for
users (even those with so-called "certifications") to have never
operated a computer using a command line interface or to even
understand the data representation of a text file.

LinuxCommand.org does not attempt to cover all Linux issues.
Specifically, it does not attempt to cover the entire field of system
configuration and administration. Rather it is focused on using the
bash shell and writing bash shell scripts. It must touch on certain
system administration issues since that's what the command line is
for.

Since I am a Red Hat Linux user, there is a certain bias to the
contents of the site. This is not meant to reflect badly on other
distributions, it only means that a) Red Hat holds the largest market
share and brand recognition in the North American market, and b) it is
the distribution I use. Contributors to LinuxCommand.org are welcome
to extend the educational content of the site to include other popular
(meaning popular with new users) distributions.

Contibutors wishing to help the LinuxCommand.org project fufill its
objectives are welcome. Contributions may be made in the following
areas:

Shell scripts for inclusion in the script library

Lessons for the site's educational tracks

Interesting one-line shell commands that demonstrate
the utility and power of the Linux system

Commentary on the educational lessons that improves
their effectiveness

The Contributor's Kit is a collection of files designed for persons
wishing to contribute to the LinuxCommand.org project. It contains
the following files:

lc_new_script A shell script that helps you write shell
programs. Use of this script is required
